(1) Poor workplace health and safety, inadequate toilet facilities and dangerous fumes from mosquito fogging that led to one asylum seeker with asthma collapsing were all raised as concerns by Kilburn, although he stressed that he believed G4S management and expatriate G4S staff acted appropriately.
(2) Exposure to toxic materials originating in the workplace has been recognized in families of workers in several industries.
(3) The results show that this method can be used for workplace exposure zoning, but that the usefulness of the estimates for epidemiological purposes is not clear-cut and depends strongly on the actual exposure characteristics within a workplace.
(4) 93% (non-smokers 99%, smokers 84%) felt that involuntary smoking should be restricted in the workplace and 99% (non-smokers 99%, smokers 97%) felt that it should be restricted in the canteens.
(5) The number of agents capable of inducing occupational asthma is large and will continue to increase as new agents are introduced into the workplace.
(6) Reasonable short-term objectives include the reduction of tobacco use (and alcohol abuse), the control of exposure to carcinogens in the workplace, as well as the reduction of air pollution in the general environment.
(7) This situation has contributed to exposure of sandblasters to hazardous levels of respirable free silica, and is reviewed here to prevent a continuation of the incompatibility of these and other standards for respiratory protection with the actual exposures to various noxious inhalants in the workplace.
(8) The commissioner, Dyson Heydon, described the payment to the Hasluck election campaign as “extraordinary” in his final report, saying there was “a direct temporal connection between a meeting on workplace issues” and the “request for a contribution to the campaign”.
(9) Early diagnosis and removal of the patient from workplace exposure to the causative substance can prevent progression to severe asthma.
(10) For both smokers and nonsmokers, beliefs that cancer has specific causes and can be prevented strongly predict support for workplace smoking control policies.
(11) Predictable long-term exposure is a useful parameter for risk assessment procedures, as it allows the evaluation of workplace hazards by taking into account interday variability of exposure to air contaminants.
(12) In response to gaps in existing legal protections, it suggests parameters for a model law protecting the confidentiality of genetic information collected in the workplace.
(13) Such an indicator could be used to supplement exposure data from workplace air sampling.
(14) On the contrary, respondents reported the largest monthly increase in workplace activity for three years in March, recording a second successive month of growth after a slight fall in January.
(15) Based on the results of a large Australian study of a workplace smoking ban, an estimated 654.88 million cigarettes with a retail value of $A6,549 thousand would be forgone annually in Australia alone if 50 percent of white-collar worksites were to ban smoking.
(16) For me, this is what needs to change - we need a cultural shift in our attitudes and behaviours and that needs to see all of us standing up and calling out harassment and misogyny, whether it is in the street or the workplace, to erode that normalisation that makes perpetrators feel safe doing it again and again.
(17) These problems are explored using data from three recent studies on workplace experiences of white collar and blue collar workers who had recovered from cancer, and of former pediatric cancer patients.
(18) Whether your greatest need is to have a neatly typed letter or an accurately aged accounts receivable report, or it's critical that you create an electronic medical record for decision support, the computer in the medical workplace should: 1.
(19) Previous suggestions for converting TEM measurements to PCM equivalents lack generality because they fail to take into account the size distribution of the asbestos particles and the expectation that fiber-size distributions in current nonoccupational environments could differ from the workplaces of the past on which the risk equations are based.
(20) Nine out of 10 private sector workplaces have never seen a union rep, let alone a picket line; the number of days lost to strike action in recent years have been, barring a relatively small spike in 2011, at historic lows.
